This homebuilt experimental aircraft was designed by Ken Rand in the early 1970s. It was a further development of his successful KR-1 Experimental. This aircraft seated a pilot and passenger or copilot in side by side seating. It was powered with a VW or Porsche inline engine of between 75 and 90 hp and fixed pitch 2 blade propeller. It had a cruise speed of 120 mph and a stall speed around 40. It was one of the worlds smallest two seat airplanes ever built. It was built by homebuilders including a wooden truss and plywood fuselage, wood wing structure, composite wing skins of micro-bead foam and fiberglass epoxy resin. It was also popular and successful as was the KR-1.
